IGN Best of January Nominees Revealed

January is often a dead zone for fantastic video game and entertainment releases. But not this year! 2014 got off to a fantastic start with Double Fine's thoughtful adventure game Broken Age, Messhof's frantic non-traditional fighting game Nidhogg, and plenty of other superlative gaming experiences. Comics also didn't miss a beat with hits like Deadly Class and Uncanny Avengers setting a high bar. TV shows like True Detective also debuted this year.

Which January releases did IGN's editors like more than any other? You'll have to wait until this Friday, February 7 to find out. On that day we'll be awarding our picks for Game of the Month, along with our choices for Best Movie, Best TV Show, and Best Comic.

In the meantime, check out our full list of nominees, and make sure to submit your People's Choice votes!
